who on earth is Whiskers-on-the-Moon? He's a resident of the area Anne lives in in the later books. Can't think of the name of the town, but by then Anne has married Gilbert and they buy a house she names Ingleside. The character is so named (sub rosa; he has a "real" name that is used to his face) because he has a full, bushy beard and a bald head. I found these later books less enjoyable than the first two, because they spend far too much time talking about local characters, in my opinion. I think Ms. Montgomery felt herself to be under some pressure to come up with more tales. The final one focuses on Anne's youngest dau., though, and so to me it's better.
